The G2, despite being a year old, still retains its place in the Top 10, sitting in at number three beneath the now-second place HTC One (M8).

Apple is expected to release one (or two) larger iPhone 6 models in September along with a feature-packed iOS 8, so we'll have another smartphone showdown on our hands to look forward to before too long.

For now though, the G3 can settle down on its plush velvet cushion and have a celebratory drink or two. It's earned it.
